The Incredible Climbing Mountain Goats

You might think you have mad mountain-climbing skills, but nature’s
got you beat. I don’t know how they do it, but these mountain goats
climb on to the most precarious places.
Living in mountainous regions around North America, mountain goats
can be found at altitudes of up to 13,000 feet, climbing cliffs all day
long, in search of food. Thanks to their cloven hooves, each featuring
two widely-spaced toes that provide great balance, mountain goats can
challenge any seasoned climber and probably best him.
Their double-layered, thick white coats provide camouflage in snowy
settings, but the altitude they can reach provides enough protection
from most predators. And if they happen to run into trouble, they can
jump 12 feet in one leap, and reach a safe point. Just check out the
pics to get an idea of their climbing capabilities.
